My first punch needle pattern is here!

My first punch needle pattern is now on Etsy! When I first started punch needle I knew that my ultimate goal was to sell my work on Etsy. I worked for about 6 months creating all my finished punch needle pieces and after making 22 items I finally listed them all in my Etsy shop. Never in a million years did I believe I would be making patterns to sell. I have seen many amazing patterns along the way and this both inspired me and freaked me out. I knew I could do it one day and the next I wondered if I was really good enough. Self doubt has been a big hurdle.

I was sitting down a few weeks ago doodling to come up with some new patterns. I came up with this cute little snowman. He was so happy I instantly knew he had to be called Mr. Jolly. Isn't he infectious?

So Jolly has now become my first pattern. I have taken a giant leap. He was so cute NOT to share! I have two other patterns that will be listed within the next several days. All three are Christmas themed. I am a little late to the Christmas pattern game with it being about two weeks left before Christmas, but better late than never, right?

I have so many ideas and so many projects lined up. It is exciting and overwhelming! I am going to decompress a bit by working a little on my knit dog sweater. This little 6 pound dog of ours is not too thrilled with wearing a sweater, but with 20 degree weather that has arrived I think he really has no choice. :) He will thank me one day!

Thanks for stopping by and stay creative!
